“Ernest R. May provides a superbly written, thoughtful, and unusually revealing introduction placing the document in its historical, political, and public policy context. Having read, commented on, and used many such works, I am pleasantly surprised to say that this introduction may be the finest contextual introduction to a primary source I have seen. Teachers will find this work a valuable addition to courses in modern U.S. history, political science, government, public policy making, and contemporary events.”
